Introduction: Anthropometric parameters such like BMI aren’t suitable enough for each type of figure and leads to misinformation about body composition. Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is suggested as an alternative for BMI.Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the usefulness of BAI in context to body composition parameters.Materials and methods: The BAI index was calculated for 86 patients according to previously described form...

Introduction: Vitamin D is important for proper functioning of all body tissues. Receptors for vitamin D are also presence in thyroid gland. It’s open questions how this vitamin could modulate the thyroid function.Aim: The aim of the study was assess the concentrations of vitamin D as well as antiTPO level among patients with thyroid dysfunction hospitalised on Endocrinology Department.Materials and methods: The study was cond...

Introduction: Active metabolites of vitamin D have pleiotropic influence on whole body.Aim: The aim of the study was evaluation of the correlation between vitamin D3 and TSH values in population over 65.Materials and methods: 94 patients admitted to diagnosis on Geriatric Department entered the study. People with age above 65 were included to research and divided on two groups according to sex. The material samples were obtained fr...
